I saw this on Whedonesque and thought folks round here might be interested to hear this.

You can check out the ArielAmbulance Yahoo! Group here and get all the information: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ArielAmbulance/

For folks who’ve tuned in late due to preemptions from your local FOX syndicate, here’s the low-down: Some months ago a browncoat (Akin) spotted the flying Ambulance from “Ariel” sitting in a scrapyard. Since then, folks have been trying to organize to rescue the Ambulance from the junk pile and put it somewhere where all browncoats can (theoretically) enjoy it--like a museum. It’s been a long, hard road, but the latest word is that they’ve made some astounding progress--but they need our help. Read their website, or check out below and then read their website.

I’m reposting this from their site ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ArielAmbulance/message/214), to let you know what’s what in the ongoing saga of the Ariel Ambulance:

Quote:

We're poised to make the deal and take away the Ariel Ambulance! Donor Candice Boyles, Akin the Finder, owner's son Shawn Kilby, and I are coordinating the transfer now.

So now we need volunteers! :)

We need...

1. people with cameras and video cameras -- documentation! Can you borrow a digital video camera from a friend/neighbor? Do you a have a camera you could loan to an attending Browncoat?

2. large, semi-muscular men and warrior women to help move the ambulance -- The ambulance is light: wood frame and fiberglass shell.

3. people interested in restoring the ambulance -- Who can show up in person at the scrapyard?

The scrap yard is located along the strip of Mojave-Barstow Hwy on the
southern border of the Mojave Airport, Mojave, CA.

--Who can show up in person at Minter Air Field Museum--the first display point?

401 Vultee Street
Shafter, California 93263

When are you available in the next few weeks?

Latest? Some costume and prop donations to the ambulance from The Prop Store of London, some apparently to stay with the ambulance on display (they are medical-related) and some to raffle/auction off to support the cause.
